About Me

My name is Kaitlin Young and I am both a college student and a professional mixed martial artist.I train out of Minnesota Martial Arts Academy and Athletic Performance Inc. in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. I've competed in a few different martial arts, but have now settled on MMA. My pro record is 4-2. I am currently under non-exclusive contract with Elite XC.I have come to realize that I will likely not be able to fight up until social security kicks in and that one day I will have to have a real job. For this reason, I am studying Kinesiology at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Though I enjoy school, martial arts are my first love.I have a wonderful boyfriend, so leave me alone about that.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Friends, fans and fellow fighters.
